Details,
Did you everfind springs that were compatable? I am looking for some too- would love to know where to get some? What about that little ring that they connect to? Are they available too?
Thanks, Nut

Some applied logic (sorry) will indicate indeed the springs
are of different tensions, they have to be for the different
loads that they support. Pair them up then arrange.

However they are too stiff laterally for the subchassis
rotating around the platter, and a later version used
a large central coil around the main bearing and much
reduced (but still different) stiffness spring pairs.

Sounds good to me, as got a couple of springs missing. Does anyone have any pics of this mod by any chance ?

I'd put a hole through three 'soft shoe' style sorbothane feet and use those in place of the springs with the spring bolts used as guides. Did this with an early Systemdek relatively recently to good effect. This may require some simple fabrication to give the sorbothane something to sit on.
